According to recent reports, the Department of Defense (DOD) is moving to distance itself from diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to rid the federal government of woke military generals who perpetuate leftist social ideology. Reports suggest that the Pentagon is in “absolute disarray” where generals are “scrambling” as Trump prepares to return to the White House.
One source recently likened the atmosphere within the government to a hornet’s nest being kicked, claiming that “DEI pages are starting to disappear off the main websites.” The source added, “They’re being archived as we speak. They are full-bore focused on cleaning up anything DEI-related.”
Allegedly, the atmosphere is tense within the Pentagon, where federal employees are trying to determine if they are on the chopping block. The source described many civil servants as being in “panic mode.” The scramble comes as Trump’s incoming administration is reportedly compiling a list of names of government leaders who pushed DEI.
Those familiar with the matter claim an executive order has already been drafted to create a panel that would recommend firing senior officers. The source suggested that it would “definitely” appear on Trump’s desk. They said, “This is for real. This [EO] has made the cut.” The anonymous insider claimed the individuals who worked on creating the executive order have “stellar military policy credentials” both on the policy and legal side. “It was people who know what they’re talking about,” the person said.
“The purpose of the EO is to restore the military leadership focus on keeping the country safe and when necessary, fighting the country’s wars…not these extraneous factors [such as] “white rage” and gender identity…just this full range of left-wing woke priorities that have impacted recruitment in the military and retention in the military and a person’s prospects of promotion in the military” the source said about the alleged executive order.
Retired Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Samuel Shoemate also weighed in on the plans, said, “They are interested full speed on DEI.” He added, “They want to lop off the head of the Marxist snake. And so that’s the primary criteria that I’m trying to focus on.” Continuing to explain their criteria, he noted they are looking for individuals who “aggressively” pushed DEI.
“We’re looking for those who have aggressively pursued DEI policies, and then potentially been the worst about retaliation against troops for the COVID mandate and stuff like that,” he said. According to Shoemate, so far, there are over a dozen names from the Navy while they are still working through the Air Force and the Army. Reportedly, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown will be included on the list after his staunch support for DEI. “Trump’s taking out the chairman. That’s gonna happen,” Shoemate stated.
